inserting Icons in Excel 2016

Question

Excel 2016 : "To insert an icon go to the Insert tab of the ribbon and under the Illustrations tab choose Icons."

I can't find Icons under Illustrations tab . Could you please help?

Answer 1

Ayman, Neil -

Here is where it should appear on the ribbon. (The directions Ayman quoted mention looking underthe tab, which is misleading; just want to double-check that you're looking in the right spot.)

If that's not the issue, do you mind sharing your exact version number? In Excel, go to File > Account. The version is listed under the Office Updates section. As Hans mentions, this feature is (or will be) available in subscription versions of Office 2016, but not in Office 2016 versions obtained as a one-time purchase.

Thanks!

Answer 2

This feature was introduced in the November, 2016 update to Office 365. Is your Office 365 fully updated?

(Inserting icons is not available in the stand-alone version of Office 2016)

Answer 3

I have the Office 365 version which gave me the news that it had been updated and icons were now available.  However, they're clearly not.

Something is amiss and I like the idea of them.

Answer 4

Anneliese :

Thank you for your answer.

Kind Regards,

Ayman

Thanks Anneliese - I must have had serious visual impairment on Tuesday, I can't believe I couldn't see them!
